allow setting content-type when calling `view(template, obj)` about point-of-view HOT 4 CLOSED

res
    .header('Content-Type', 'text/xml')
    //.send('<thing jhsdf="124">kjnvuhr</thing>');
    .view('rss.pug', { a bunch of data });

in the above code- I will get back a text/html response calling view. But if you swap the commented send with view, you'll get back an xml response.

Hi!
Thank you for using Fastify :)

Yes, we are setting the content type on 'text/html' because internally Fastify (if you didn't set a content-type) assumes that you are sending an 'application/json'.
So to supply a better usability of this module we decided to automatically add the content type, so you don't need to do:

reply.header('Content-Type', 'text/html').view('./template.pug', { data: 'data' })

Honestly I didn't think about your use case :)

Your suggestion is the actual solution:

if (!reply.res.getHeader('Content-Type')) {
  reply.header('Content-Type', 'text/html')
}

If you want you can do a PR, if not I'll do it :)
